I do not see how the ports could interfere with each other. Your switch provides 4 independent 1-of-3 switches and each of your 3 LNBs provides 4 independent 1-of-4 switches. >>>> Hhm, these settings only help in determining high/low band and the >>>> frequency to tune to.

There is only one mandatory command for DiSEqC 1.0: the above used 0x38. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@xxxxxx
